ABSTRACT
This study aims to define the relation between motor expectation and motor response speed. The researcher used the descriptive
method as it is proper to the nature of the study. The sample of the study included 15 defenders from Selikh and the Army Clubs. In
the first system (imaging), the researchers photographed the motor path of defenders, ball path, and the opponent. In the second
system (analysis), they photographed movements of defenders and team partners from tactical and technical point of views with
consideration of the scoring area. A form of remarks and motor expectation evaluation was adopted consisting of five parts: Ball
stealing, ball dispersion, moves of attacking sides, moves of attacking forward, and moves of attacking backward. Each part takes 10
marks and the full mark is 50. Regarding the motor response time, the four-way Nelson test was adopted with a distance of 6.4 m.
The researchers found that all relations were positive and in inverse direction which means that the more motor response speed time
is, the more motor expectation will be, while there were no positive results in the direction of attacking backward.

INTRODUCTION
Motor expectation in athletics is one of the mental
abilities that depend on the experience of players. The
more the experience is the more expectation will be.
Mahmoud Abdelafttah refers that motor expectation
is a prior mental preparation as it is a complex motor
mental issue. Moreover, it is also one of the important
aspects of motor decisions that should be made within
the framework of planning thinking during playing.
Players have a key role as they should be proactive
in reading thoughts and tactical intentions of their
opponents in the other team (Abdulfattah, 1995).
Moreover, motor expectation plays a role in full

Methodology
There are a lot of phenomena that cannot be studied
unless through an appropriate methodology that is
consistent with. Therefore, the researchers used the
descriptive method using correlations buying the best
and easiest method to achieve the objective of the
study.
Sample of the Study
The sample includes 7 defender players from Al Karkh
Club and 8 defender players from the Army Club
(total sample is 15 players). The sample was selected
purposively as they represent the most experienced
players in the game for long years (between 5 and
6years) with teams as their ages ranged between 19
and 21years old.
Tests of the Study
Nelson four-way test in a distance of (6.4m) to
measure motor response speed (Ibrahim and Breka,
1995).
Regarding motor expectation, both researchers
used imaging and adopted the form of
observation and motor expectation performance
evaluation through five divisions (ball stealing,
ball dispersion, moves of attacking sides, moves
of attacking forward, and moves of attacking
backward) and give 10 marks for each division
out of full mark50.
Exploratory Trial
The researchers conducted an exploratory trial on
01/11/2015 on a group of players of the original
population to test devices, imaging machine used in
this research and how valid they are, clarify work of
the assistant work team, set the time duration through
installing the imaging device of the field trial of the
study, define shot angle and its place to completely
cover the field.
Main Trial
The main trial was conducted on Monday, 17.12.2015,
where the researchers in the first system (imaging
system) imaged the motor path of the defender
players, the path of the ball and the opponent. In the
second system (analysis system), they imaged moves of
defender players and colleagues from tactical (tactical)

CONCLUSIONS
In the light of findings, the researchers concluded the
following:
Results of all expectations of players showed positive
and inverse effect on motor response speed. This
means that the more motor response speed time is,
the more motor expectation will be.
There are no significant findings in expecting
backward attack.
